A baby girl in a village in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India is being worshipped as a Hindu god, after she was born with what appears to be a trunk.
The girl was born on Thursday and people are now flocking to see her as they believe she is an incarnation of the Hindu deity Ganesha, who also has a trunk.
The baby's aunty said that crowds had since arrived to make offerings to the child.
'My sister-in-law gave birth to a girl at 7:00 a.m. and her face looks exactly like Lord Ganesha', she said.
'This is why whoever hears about her is coming here to get a glimpse of the baby and are making whatever offerings possible'.
The girl was born to Rambabu Sarvesh and his wife Banna Devi.
Mr Sarvesh, who is already a father to three children, earns 250 rupee ($5.17) a day, and hopes that his daughter's birth will result in a change to the family's fortunes.
Doctors have said that the girl's deformity was most likely due to a gene mutation, as a result of malnutrition.
